I have had my 2001 RS for two months now and was wondering if anyone else has a problem with their middle left vent not working?
The one left one right above the stereo face etc. I am going to take it in to get fixed but I do not like it when I have to wait for my new car.

It's the same on all imprezas, just the way they were designed. If you close the flow on the left side vent, it will flow more into the middle, but the left mid vent will never flow that much for some reason.

This may sound stupid but a while ago I noticed the same thing...they had always worked before. I took off the vent cover and used a flashlight to look inside, and noticed that there was a leaf blocking the airflow to those vents. Dont know how it got there.

i took MY00 in a long time ago and told them about this. Its not a big deal, but i figured since i paid the money, it ought to work. They said it was normal, and showed me some type of diagram of the "pipes" (not really pipes but the only word i can think of haha) and how its one big one, that splits into 2 at the end, but the right side was just made bigger for some reason.

Well I'll be damned....
Scootr..you beat me to it.
I was going to post the same thing. I have an MY00RS and took it three times to get it checked. They dismantled the whole thing and found nothing. They tested two other Impreza's and found to have the same problem. It's just the way it's made. It sucks...but there are remedies like the ones mentioned above.
